Synergy Won't Run on OSX 10.10.5

I have just purchased and downloaded the latest version of Synergy 2 for Mac. When I double click to install Synergy after the dmg is mounted, I get a popup with the error "Synergy cannot be opened because of a problem." Below is the information shown in the Report / Details section. This is pretty disappointing as I just bought this and, not being able to run it, have spent the money for nothing.

@Nick Bolton, why isn't 10.10 supported? Yosemite only came out ~3 years ago.

Time and resource constraints. Apple makes it hard for developers to support older OSs when you're using low-level APIs. We will be adding this in 2.1 though, as about 2% of our Mac users still have 10.10 (63% of Mac users use 10.13).

Just saw the new latest stable release 2.0.7 and gave it a try. Still won't install on Yosemite 10.10.5.

Unfortunately, I cannot upgrade this older Mac any further (to Sierra). Apple decided to no longer support it with the newer macOSs.

So it looks like I am stuck with a non-usable Pro version of Synergy until version 2.1 is released? Any idea when that release will be available? Is there an older version of Synergy I can download and use in the meantime?

still not running on yosemite 10.0.3 vs synergy 1.9.1. I have purchased a license "for life" and there is now a 2.0 and 2.1 that would maybe work between ubuntu server and osx client. great. Purchase another time and test, if does not work, the support is what we see here. I dont want refund, just wanted it to work as told. If it does not work on mac, simply delete the osx version from the website. so we, customers, dont even bother trying to configure it. BTW I have received this, and cannot upgrade to synergy 2 pro myself alone:

If you have already purchased Synergy 1 or Synergy 2 Basic, your account will be upgraded to Synergy 2 Pro.
